Musk must die!

www.americanthinker.com

Democrats, who tell us it’s Normal Americans who are really the people doing all that mostly peaceful but fiery violence, continue to behave like rabid badgers. Worse, they behave like envious rabid badgers, which is never a good look. The Party of diversity and tolerance is anything but, and this time, the object of their hate is Elon Musk—still.

Musk was something of a Democrat ally until he did the unforgivable: he aligned himself with Donald Trump, exposed Democrat fraud and crimes, shut down their money funnels, and worst of all, bought Twitter and restored free speech on a platform they previously owned. So, Democrats vandalized and torched Teslas, the electric cars they previously loved, and discovered Musk was one of the billionaires who must “pay their fair share” of taxes, unlike Soros and other Democrat billionaires who must pay Democrats.

And then Musk went and did it: he became the world’s first trillionaire.

Sure, he made thousands of his more than 100,000 employees millionaires overnight, but how could he?! It doesn’t matter that his SpaceX IPO will put us on Mars and that his companies provide lucrative employment for nearly 200,000 Americans. He’s not a dedicated Democrat funding source, and he’s guilty of, as current Democrat “it” boy Hasan Piker terms it, “social murder.”

Musk’s wealth is killing everyone else, and the only way he can expiate that guilt is by being murdered and by giving all his wealth to people Democrats identify, which is Democrats and their favored victim groups.

Never mind the trillion isn’t in Musk’s bank account. It’s in his companies, which allows Musk to do things, not to hoard. If his companies succeed, so does mankind, Musk’s employees, and the American economy. Democrats hate that.

The Verge, ostensibly a tech publication, just put out what I can only describe as an incitement to assassinate SpaceX founder Elon Musk.

"The world’s first trillionaire is a killer," TC Sottek's headline screams, whose "empire of wealth is built on suffering."

"While his mountain of horrible personal conduct could fill multiple books," the screed continues, "one fact in particular stands out: A year ago, Musk’s actions directly led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. He did it knowingly. And, worse — gleefully."

Italics in the original, because otherwise some lefty freakazoid with a rifle might not get the subtle shout-out to assassinate the man who gave the world cheap access to space, universal high-speed internet access, the first mass-produced electric vehicles, and Neuralink brain implants for the disabled.

And just who has Musk killed?

In the months that followed, public health models would indicate Musk was a killer, at a far greater scale than any Coen brothers villain. A tracker co-created by Boston University professor Brooke Nichols projected over 780,000 deaths — mostly of children, many of infants — due to the Trump administration’s early-2025 USAID cuts, caused by malaria, tuberculosis, HIV, and more. These deaths were widely predicted from the beginning, a direct, known, and undeniable consequence of DOGE’s actions. We don’t know the precise number of deaths, but multiple experts working on identifying the scale of the tragedy have generally agreed it’s in the hundreds of thousands.

Oh, well, if “multiple experts” “generally agree,” it must be true. KILL MUSK!

But back to Piker:

Apart from being more “social murder” encouragement to already deranged leftists, Piker, whose accomplishments include being born rich and running a communist podcast, is disparaging one of the hardest-working people ever born who has created more wealth and useful products than any 10 industrialists. You don’t do that by failing upward. That’s how one gets ahead in Democrat government, not the private sector where results are demanded and rewarded.

The politics of envy is among man’s most despicable achievements. American economics is not a zero-sum game. Despite Democrat claims to the contrary, someone else’s wealth does not diminish me or anyone else. A dollar they make is not denied anyone else. That Musk can make a trillion dollars stands as evidence anyone, with drive, intelligence, and vision, can do the same. True, they may have to settle for only hundreds of billions, but things are tough all over.

Democrat politicians like Ed Markey have suggested taking Musk’s money can fund “community health centers” for 26 years. That just goes to prove Democrats’ economic illiteracy. The money isn’t sitting in a bank somewhere, and it’s not Markey’s money. It belongs to Musk’s investors and employees.

Musk’s college roommate isn’t an economic illiterate:

In the meantime, Musk’s fortune has one undeniable benefit for Musk and his children: he can afford the best round-the-clock security. He’s going to need it.
